Use a holster or a protective case to carry your Dash. They are available on numerous websites. Also, you can buy protective screen covers. They have them in the accessories section on the T-Mobile website and many others as well.
sorry, i didn't mean the actual screen cracked. i meant it looks like ink exploded in the back ground. the actual screen is fine. it's behind it that's the problem.
Okay... so what's your question... or issue then ?
the screen appears to be cracked behind the actual 'glass'. so it looks like ink bleeding across the screen ( i saw someone else posted about this). i can't figure out exactly how/why this happens & t-mobile was of no help. i was just wondering if other people have experienced this. i found some related messages on another forum but no one had a solution to stop this, other than use a case. which i do.
I has a similar problem once.. Tipsy fiancy decided to grab my phone, knocked it into the leg of a table.. Cracked the crap outa the screen.. I ended up calling tmobile and saying "my screen doesn't work any more.." They kindly replaced my phone with no hastles..
if something like that happened, i could understand. the damn thing was in my pocket for about 1 minute!
Sorry dude - its broken.
The LCD has a couple of layers. One of back layers are broken.
This is one solution:

hmm..apparently i didn't explain myself enough. t-mobile i sending me a new phone for free. i just want to prevent this from happening in the future. i guess i'll just step up the case i already have. i'm looking at this one:

I think this case is better:

Coz its simple, good looking and lite.
that's pretty much what i have now & my phone's broke twice now
i think i need something that protects the screen too. or HTC should fix this problem that numerous others have complained about.

I have that exact case - its pretty good! I've been using it for 8 months now and its been fine. I don't think it really helps the screen all that much, but I have a screen protector on too. The only problem is that the phone is not so grippy with the case on. Overall I'm happy and it didnt cost much. Actually I use another case
Actually I have this too:

Its for the Cavalier but fits (with the other case on too) perfectly. This one I love!
I put my phone ot shirt pocket - no movement, no problem.
during the winter, i always put my phone in my jacket pocket, never my jeans. and the two times i've put it in my jeans this has happened
therefore
i will not putting the phone in my jeans!
guess i'll just have to be even more careful than i already am. i ordered a nice case with a screen protector & shock resistant.
thanks for the help!
Yeah, that's gonna snap the first time he sits down, also! lol
Stick with a nice leather case. I'd recommend the nice, Palm branded, horizontal case they make for their Treo's.
Got the phone less then 2 weeks ago, screen is having problem. Thought it was the screen protector / case doing it, because it started acting up the moment after I applied a diztronic case with the screen protector is came with. The very top right seems to be glitching as if some touch input is being made, and moving sporadically up and down. When that happens, I cant really do anything other then turning it off and back on, to which it'll happen eventually.

Has anyone ever heard of this issue?
I have had my Nexus 7 2013 for I think 6 months now. For weeks now have been having regular problems with my auto rotate, which appeared to start a couple weeks after switching from my beat up Poetic Slimline Ultra case to the Moko Ultra Slim case (more on that in a little). There would be random times where the auto rotate would appear to work after a reboot, and others where it would not. Even after some complete wipes and rom installs the screen would still not auto rotate a lot of the time.
I recently discovered that the backing to the tablet itself, in the bottom right corner when in portrait mode, was a bit loose, I believe maybe because of the tightness of the moko case (or possibly from a couple of times I dropped the tablet in the case). I was thinking maybe this is related.
I had tried safe mode many times and it still did not auto rotate in safe mode. I just tried riptide gp2 which I have not played in a long time, and found that the tilt function was not working at all, which these meant to me that it may be a hardware issue and not software related. Booting with the moko case off the tablet most of the time still did not auto rotate.
I took off the moko case and peeled back quite a bit on the loose part of the backing of the tablet to see if I could see anything in there that may be of issue (could not really see anything as I did not want to totally risk breaking the back off). So I let go and firmly put back the corner as much as I could. After that I booted and the auto rotate and riptide GP2 were working as expected.
I am looking for ideas on if its possible the moko case is causing an issue with the gyroscope and I should not use it anymore, or if my tablet may have a hardware defect and if I should RMA it, or if anyone else has a suggestion on a possible way I can perma fix this issue, or at least determine the true hardware cause of it.
Hey all,
I've had the G4 for about 3 weeks and the screen sensitivity is my only gripe. It sometimes takes several taps to get it to respond and when scrolling in various apps it will not always respond. Like many others I have a glass screen protector and I've read a few times that people think that might be part of the issue. I want to test this without destroying the current protector I have by removing it. I have also noticed that if I need to push for several seconds on the same spot (mainly for long pressing on the keyboard) my finger will move around slightly and not always tap the area I was aiming for.
Anyone else remove their glass screen protector and notice better performance? Or maybe switching to a non-glass protector? It can be frustrating when thinking you tapped the screen and then doing it again and again.
I went to return my phone, peeled off the screen protector, and the difference was huge. Still very weak touch response even without a protector, though. Less sensitive than a Samsung or iPhone anyways. I decided to just get used to it and it doesn't really bother me as much anymore. I went with a warranty replacement to be safe anyways, and it does seem to be a little better than my previous phone. Still a much weaker touch response than my S4 ever had, but i will say that my gf's iPhone 5 is much worse with her thicker glass protector (i bought a really thin .2mm one, which has already spidered within a week xP)
Thanks for the response Ryan. I'll probably remove the glass protector as well then. I bought the one that Verizon offered which I think is a generic brand. It looks great on the phone but with this issue it's not worth it. Thanks again!
Just a quick update. I replaced my glass screen protector with this one from Spigen and it is noticeably better. As Ryan mentioned previously, still not perfect which I believe is something that LG needs to work on. The phone is not as responsive as it should be. The previous glass protector was too thick and this Spigen one makes a huge difference. I still occasionally have to tap twice but this at least makes me want to throw the phone less.
I use an Invisashield and I haven't had a single issue with touch responsiveness. I just got my phone a few days ago so maybe it's got something different. I don't know.
Have been using this phone as a backup phone for a while and now I'm gonna give it to my grandfather. Since he is 79 years old, a bit careless, I purchased a screen protector.
It's the typical 0.3mm shatter proof 9h but the problem is: I can barely pull the notification bar and the phone just feel like not responding at all.
You must press harder on the screen, at times with two fingers running down the screen to pull the notifications, typing is a nightmare. Since it completely lost the sensitivity, it feels like the phone is slow or freezing up but it's not the case. I'm pretty sure if I take the screen protector off it comes back to normal. Funny enough, if you run a touchscreen test, it works just fine by just lightly touching it.
The touchscreen is awesome without it, I used to play some minor games on this phone. It was my daily phone for walking and listening to music, I switched back to my Nokia 930 because I don't think my grandpa would be able to use a Windows Phone lol.
Has anyone experienced this kind of issue before? Don't think the phone will last long naked just like his Moto G4. (two weeks with a shattered screen then completely dead)
Should I purchase another screen protector?
